The text indicates that in the Sea of ​​Azov and along the Black Sea coast “there are at least 18 thousand mines of the times of World War II”.

According to the author of the article, "it is not difficult to imagine the war of the United States and Russia caused by the accidental flooding of a NATO ship ... because of an unexploded mine in such dangerous waters."

“Perhaps, fortunately, in the United States it is forbidden to carry aircraft carriers through the Turkish Straits, in accordance with the Montreux Convention,” the author of the article states.

He notes that in a hypothetical situation, if US carriers were allowed to go through the Turkish Straits, they would "probably be quickly destroyed by a powerful combination of submarines, coastal mobile missile forces and small but deadly Russian missile boats."

Earlier, the press service of the 6th fleet of the United States reported that the destroyer Porter, equipped with guided missile weapons, was heading to the Black Sea.

Later, the Black Sea Fleet was escorted by an American destroyer that entered the Black Sea.
